Mar 03, 2022

What qualities should you look for in a Laguna Beach Photography for your family vacation portraits?

Laguna Beach is the ultimate vacation destination in California, famous for its spectacular art galleries, quiet coves, and picturesque landscapes. Whether you’re staying at the Montage Resort, Pelican Hill, or The Ritz Carlton, you’ll want to remember this trip forever.


That’s where a Laguna Beach family photographer comes in. Finding the right person to capture your vacation shots, high school portraits, or family photos is essential to get the most out of your money.


In today’s blog, I’ll share my best tips for selecting the best creative for your needs. As an Orange County photographer, I understand the criteria required to achieve top-quality images while making memories you’ll never forget!


Let’s dive in – and don’t forget to stay tuned for a surprise at the end of this post!

How to Select the Best Laguna Beach Photographer


To establish the best Laguna Beach photographer to fulfill your needs, you should ask yourself the following questions and carefully consider what you want out of your family photoshoot.

Can They Shoot In a Variety of Locations?


The first and possibly most important question is this: can your photographer shoot in various locations? There are so many incredible sights to take in when you’re on vacation. Stunning sunsets, breathtaking sunrises, and all of the landscapes you could ever dream of.


If you want to capture these memories in action instead of confining yourself to an indoor studio, make sure this is something your photographer can offer. 


At Blue Sky’s Studio, I can:


  • Hold your family photoshoot at a location of your choice
  • Make suggestions for the most iconic spots
  • Match our schedules for optimum shooting potential
  • Knows how to use lighting equipment, scrims and reflectors to make sure you get gorgeous lighting with all eyes opened and a beautifully exposed background.

Do They Offer Tangible Products?


While digital photos are ideal for sending to distant family and keeping your images safe forever, they don’t always get viewed as much as we’d like. When you’re looking for a family photographer, make sure to check if they offer tangible products such as wall art or photo albums. 


At Blue Sky's Studio, I offer a range of photography services as well as the products you need to revisit your favorite moments and enjoy them again and again. In fact, I even ship all of the orders directly to customers across the US – free of charge!




Do They Offer a Variety of Portrait Options?


Another question you’ll want to bear in mind when looking for a Laguna Beach photographer is what kind of portraits they offer. If you want vacation shots that sell the landscape as much as your family’s smiling faces, a corporate photographer won’t be the ideal option. Similarly, if you’d like to capture some high school portraits to mark a memorable moment in your child’s life, a nature photographer definitely won’t be the right fit. 



Do your research and look for a studio that offers everything you need.

Does Their Style Match Your Vision?


Photography is unique to everyone, and just like any art form, the style will vary from creative to creative. My best piece of advice is to check out your Orange County photographer’s portfolio first. Take a look at their social media if they have it and if there’s a style you like, ask them if they can offer it. 


You’ll only live out these memories once, so it’s essential to find someone who can capture them in a way that you’ll enjoy for a lifetime!
